Four weeks into the 2016 football season the Midwestern State Mustangs are finally going to play at home.

Their opponent, Oklahoma Panhandle State, is getting ready to play its fourth game, will have traveled more than 4,200 miles and must wait until next week to play its first home game of the season.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium.

The Aggies (1-2, 0-1) have played two Division I (FCS) programs, losing to Sam Houston State and upsetting Arkansas-Pine Bluff. However they were rudely introduced to the Lone Star Conference by new member Western New Mexico last week.

"They scored 21 points against Sam Houston, who was No. 2 (FCS) at the time," MSU head coach Bill Maskill said. "They're competitive. This will be their fourth game on the road. They've been playing to their competition.

"They looked up and ready to go against Sam Houston and played really well to beat Pine Bluff. Against Western New Mexico, they looked like they were worn down. I think they'll come in here ready to play."

The Aggies are coming off a 5-5 season that saw them have a partial introduction to the LSC, playing Angelo State once and both Tarleton State and West Texas A&M twice.

The Texans handed them an 84-47 setback during the regular season, but in the LSC playoffs they dropped a 28-21 decision to WT and fell 48-47 to the Texans in the season finale.

"They're dangerous because we don't know that, much about them," Mskill said. "They're dangerous because they're going to give us their best game. They don't have anything to lose. They beat a I-AA team and they lost to a team they should have beat. Their going to be ready to play."

The Aggies are averaging 382.3 yards ot offense a game with 118.7 rushing and 263.7 through the air.

Senior quarterback Shane Truelove is 54 of 92 with one interception for 647 yards and five touchdowns. He has also rushed for 58 yards and a score. Rod Moore is the leading rusher with 143 yards and Cedric Agyeman has 74.

Andrew Hernandez is the top receiver with 17 catches for 248 yards and two scores, followed by Eddie Thomas with six for 112 and two TDs.

Special teams have accounted for two scores with a 90-yard kickoff return and a 90-yard returned of a blocked field goal.

"They're going to do all the things they can do to beat us," Maskill said. " And they're going to run as lot of the same things Texas A&M-Kingsville did. Offensively they'll run the power, the zone read, the power read — a lot of the same things we saw last week. They just won't run it with two or three tight ends.

"They're going to line up in the 'Bear' like Kingsville defensively, so they will give us some of the same issues with our blocking. The biggest thing is they hide real well who the fourth rusher is going to be. That will be a little different."

OPSU is giving up 490.7 yards of offense with 199 rushing and 291.7 passing.

Safety Darryn Cain leads the team with 21 tackles, followed by Neptune Joseph and Dharius Timmons both have 17. D'Darian Primes leads the team with 2.5 sacks and John Pitts has two.

"Our main concern is Midwestern State and continuing to get better," Maskill said. "We have to improve on what we do.

"We got better last Thursday and it carried over to the game. But we're still not there yet. We have to work on getting us better every practice and every week. Right now, that's what matters most."
